Manly Kayak Centre reviews
68Very easy booking and process when we got there. Highly recommend. We kayaked out to store beach and was amazing. Will definitely be coming back.
Great way to see the smaller beaches of Manly. Staff were very informative.would definitely recommend
Highly recommended. It’s easy to find their spot as it’s really close to the wharf. The staff who assisted us were really friendly and helpful, great service overall. Their pricing is reasonable too! We did 3hrs of kayaking and will definitely book longer hours next time as we enjoyed staying in one of the nearby beaches.
! We absolutely loved. Thank you for the incredible service, for your advice and for encouraging me. Manly Kayak Centre is super affordable and such a great activity. Can’t wait to come again!
Great afternoon kayaking with the kids. Headed over to Store and Quarantine Beach which were spectacular. Great service, setup, places to store stuff, waterproof bags etc.would highly recommend.
Had a ball of a time with the self hire boat ride! Was hoping it could go faster but also understand why it shouldn’t (for safety reasons). Would absolutely do this again! Thank you Angus for showing us the ropes! You’re a legend!
Book with this crew now! Jaden was super friendly, helpful and accommodating. He told us all the places to check out and those to avoid. He was a real pleasure to work with. The shoreline is easy to navigate and more secluded than we anticipated. What a beautiful day we had, thanks to you!
We hope to see you in the states sometime, Jaden!
Love this place and the crew here! I pop along for a lunchtime paddle most weeks, lovely way to unwind plus get some exercise for an hour, and when I have more time I head over to one of the beaches for a chill and swim.
I recently had the pleasure on a 1.5-hour kayak tour with Manly Kayak Center, and it was a great experience as a beginner. The staff is incredibly friendly and he gave us a lot of help on getting start with kayak.
One of the best kayak experiences I’ve had. Craig was awesome - gave us an instructions and tips on what to do. Going to be coming back for the next one
Craig went above and beyond excellent customer service. He was kind enough to allow my husband and I to rent kayaks on a day he was normally closed …. We had a delightful paddle.
Highly recommend! We had one hour kayak and it was a fantastic experience! We all had fun! The owner is so nice and the view is absolutely amazing️
Super kind, helpful, and organized staff. The quality of our double kayak was excellent and the scenery was just beautiful with three great beaches to visit if you desire. Had a magical, safe, and very enjoyable time. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.
Great Sunday
Started with a paddle around to little manly on the double kayak.
Had a coffee
Then-a swim
Very easy process for hiring the kayak
Great staff
Pros: cheaper than others; excellent service; cute beaches and even museums available to explore; safety of the bay
Cons: limited on where to go because you shouldn't exit the bay (2 hours are enough, more needed only to sunbathe at the beaches) ; it is still quite pricey
My brother and I rented here for a couple of hours a few days back. The workers were very friendly and prepared, and I would recommend two hours anyway because you are limited on where to go (exiting the bay would have you encounter strong rips and waves from the ocean). Two hours were enough to paddle around and explore some of the beaches (I recommend quarantine beach because is very cute and there is a little historical museum). It is on the pricier side, but it's still less than most others renters in Sydney, so overall I do recommend it.
We hired a double kayak for a few hours and headed over to Store beach. The folk at the centre are super relaxed and helpful and the process to get and get out is really simple, 5 stars guys!
This was a team building experience that was delayed a few years, first due to covid and then again by bad weather last year- let me tell you it was worth the wait! Our PwC crew had a wonderful day out on the water. Martin was an incredible tour guide. His knowledge of the local area, and kayaking expertise was better than we could have imagined. He was amazing to spend the day with. By the end of the day we all felt like kayaking experts! Thank you Martin (for being an absolutely awesome tour guide of our 3 beaches experience), along with our 'glamping' picnic experience. I was a beginner and I would recommend this experience to anyone warm rgds Michelle Paris, PwC
We had an excellent and amazing experience with Kayaking over the weekend. It was our first time experience and didn't know anything about Kayaking. Staff members are really friendly and especially Craig was really polite and helped us to understand the basic concept of Kayaking that helped us a lot. Me & my wife enjoyed learning kayaking and weather was great as well as scenic beauty of Manly. My wife actually want to revisit & we will plan to do kayaking again. Must visit for everyone to enjoy and have fun.
Great experience hiring a double kayak. They provided water bags. We paddled to Quarantine Beach.
There was paid parking close to the Manly Kayak Centre, but expensive.
Exellent experience! Nice and patient coach, good facility. Strongly recommend the standup paddle board which is like a surf board could be standing on.
